In 2024, as part of the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the university, the Polytechnic University Endowment Fund took the initiative to implement an infrastructure project using funds from the management of endowment capital in the amount of 5 million rubles.
In December 2024, the Foundation Board announced a call for applications, inviting the directorates of all SPbPU institutes to participate. The commission for the distribution of income from the management of the Foundation’s endowment capital received 12 projects, each of which was of particular importance and was highly appreciated by the commission.
According to the results of the competition, the most important project for the university was the renovation of the large physics auditorium of the Main Academic Building, which has enormous historical and symbolic significance for SPbPU. Such great Russian and Soviet scientists as V. V. Skobeltsyn, A. F. Ioffe, P. L. Kapitsa, N. N. Semenov, A. A. Fridman, Yu. B. Khariton, A. I. Alikhanov, B. P. Konstantinov and many others gave and listened to lectures there.
The renovation will be completed after classes end in the summer of 2025.
Director of the Institute of Physics and Mathematics Pavel Zakharov noted: The Large Physics Auditorium is not only the heart of the Physics Department, where demonstrations and lectures have been held since the university was founded, but also one of the largest and most legendary auditoriums. Thousands of our students pass through it every year. We are grateful to the Foundation for the opportunity to carry out repair work in the auditorium.
